REPRODUCIBILITY: Always upon installation
OS VERSION: Tested in 4.5.0.21
HARDWARE: Pinephone Pro
UI LANGUAGE: English
REGRESSION: (no idea, it’s the first device + version I am using that has alsa-utils pre-installed).
DESCRIPTION:
Package alsa-utils comes with a udev rule that expects alsactl to be installed in /sbin/alsactl, but the spec file installs all executable in /usr/bin/ and /usr/sbin/
PRECONDITIONS:
A device whose installation includes alsa-utils is needed (obviously). In my case, that’s PinePhone Pro running the community native port of SailfishOS.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
- Install SailfishOS
- Boot
- Check the content of logs with
journalctl, and check the content ofrpm -ql alsa-utils
EXPECTED RESULT:
No error message should happen.
ACTUAL RESULT:
-
journalctlshows a file not found error when udev tries to run that rule. -
rpm -ql alsa-utilsconfirms that it is installed as/usr/sbin/altactl, not/sbin/alsactlas the udev rule expects it.
MODIFICATIONS:
Happens with stock community SailfishOS straight out of a fresh flash, no customiation involved.
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
Possible work-around:
ln -s /usr/sbin/aslactl /sbin
This could be also handled in the spec file and added permanently to the rpm.
(or the udev rules could be updated).
